John Gruber illustrates the dangers of not having a clue about history: "The utter simplicity of the iOS home screen is Apple's innovation. It's the simplest, most obvious 'system' ever designed." Thanks for playing.

I think this is one of my biggest gripes with the iOS interface too. At my part time job I was trying to configure a coworker's iPhone to access our server remotely, and I couldn't find the Settings app icon to save my life. I handed it back to her to see if she could find it for me, and it even took her about thirty seconds. And she uses the device all day every day!
